Assessments of Thailand range from level 1 to level 3, a spread of two levels. Japan and United Kingdom take the strictest view and United States and Ireland the most relaxed, with the largest group at level 2. A gap this size usually means the risk is concentrated in particular areas rather than spread evenly across the country.
Currency varies between sources. New Zealand's is the oldest assessment of Thailand on file, last revised in November 2024, while the rest have been reviewed more recently.
The warnings for Thailand are not uniform across the country. 26 distinct areas are singled out by at least one government. Among them: Pattani Province and Narathiwat Province. At least one of these carries the highest possible rating, meaning a government advising against all travel there while rating the rest of the country lower.
The level 3 rating from Japan and United Kingdom carries practical weight even if your own government is more relaxed — insurers commonly price against, or exclude, travel contrary to official advice, so the rating that matters most is the one issued for your passport.
